That bus really does look incredible. I keep thinking it would be a fun one to have on my shelf but then I remember it’s Roden and I quickly put it to the back of my mind. 😂

As I predicted: the bus came out great! Darn, sometimes I hate being right, but this time: no! Not at all!!!

Thanks Erwin , how have you been man ? After complaining like a twelve year old school girl about this kit , I'm beginning to rethink it . Oh , don't get me wrong the misnumbered and found on the wrong sprues thing still sucks major . Yet so far fit has been a bit of a problem but carefully pre - fitting and triple checking things , which shouldn't have to be done to this extent , I'm liking the results so far . The diesel engine is quite nice and even though a beeotch to place , it's very cool in the end . I'm moving on to the bus shell now , waiting for the other shoe to drop but here's hoping . I looked up the real bus's engine colors on line and was surprised to find the baby blue instead of the GMC red/orange color . For me that goes back to the 60's and early 70's with the GMC red/orange . postimg.cc/WhZm3YF2] [/url] postimg.cc/Jyrjp1Tn] [/url] postimg.cc/G98G7gjk] [/url]

Then there is the old stove bolt 6's that were blue through the 50's and 60's.

Thanks Tcoat , I should have said civi vehicles , I remember as red/orange . I drove a 60's [ can't remember the exact year ] N.J. telephone co. turret mounted ladder splicers rig . I do remember that engine having no color just the factory metal . Old stove bolt 6's as in diesel ? For the life of me I can't find a photo of one . This is a 50/60's version similar to my first splicers rig . postimages.org/] [/url]

I had a couple of cars with one and worked on many others. About as bulletproof as an engine can get.

For the bus build being a struggle your results don't show it at all. This keeps getting better and better as you go!
